Every Easter

Adam Brody

How's Summer Roberts?

TresOcho

She's doing alright. Blood pressure's a little high

Adam Brody

You remember that time on the OC when your girlfriend dressed like Wonder Woman?

CHWK

I have total recall of everything that's ever happened in my life

Adam Brody

Have you heard of the podcast Start Up? How will their story (in season 1) compare to your show? How do you feel about the fact, that the ABC show that is based on it has to change its name because of you guys? How often do you get asked if your show is based on the podcast?

edit: I found out who you are, why'd you leave Lane?! You guys where perfect for each other!

Werner__Herzog

Ha! I actually haven't heard about that at all! But I've been a part of so many projects that have had to change their name because of something else (happened to me two months ago) that I actually like it. Karmic payback

Adam Brody

Adam, how how much fun was it to work as Ted in The League?

Jjp2369

Such a funny, talented group of people. It was actually intimidating. But they're all very nice..

Adam Brody

What has been your favorite moment on set?

Chtorrr

I always enjoy that last special take. When you finally get it

Adam Brody

Hey Adam! What kind of research did you do to prepare for the role and what's the most interesting thing you learned?

the_ua

Cryptocurrency is such a huge concept. I read as much as I could. I think the fact that's there's no governing authority to it and it constantly evolves is trippy

Adam Brody

Are you a regular reddit user?

gatecrasherau

Working on it

Adam Brody

What was being on Colbert's show like? Do you get to choose where and when you plug your new show?

Steelsquare

Colbert was awesome. I'm a huge fan so I was a little intimidated but he's such a nice guy he puts you at ease.

Adam Brody

What drew you in to the script of "StartUp"?

BriGuyCali

Ben Keitai's voice. Very distinct. I love distinct voices

Adam Brody

What was the hardest thing you did while filming?

Jessatoo

The show is such a pressure cooker that I found the hardest part to be keeping my energy up to constantly play life and death stakes

Adam Brody

I've always thought that if there's ever a movie about The Killers, you should play Brandon Flowers. Would you do it?

swissarmybriefs

I'm probably getting too old to play him in his prime, but for you, sure

Adam Brody

What is your favorite thing you learned while producing (and acting on) StartUp?

indigo15

How good our freaking cast is

Adam Brody

I really enjoyed watching you in the O.C, you had good onscreen chemistry with both Summer (Rachel Bilson) and Ryan (Ben McKenzie). Would you like to work with them again on a project and if yes, have there ever been talks about doing this?

yourfeedback

Thanks! No talks, but who knows? Hopefully it'll be a long life

Adam Brody

What was your take on the whole "Justice League: Mortal" situation? Can you describe what the flash suit looked like? Were you disappointed that it got canceled?

mikeybiz

I loved the script, loved George, loved the actors. I wasn't happy it got cancelled but at the time I understood why. Although, after seeing (in Mad Max) what an amazing and cutting edge film maker George Miller still is, I bet the WB is wishing that they made it way back when.

Adam Brody

'Starting a startup' has become the new 'starting a band' -- what about your new drama is going to set StartUp apart from everyone riding the trend?

kn0thing

Starting a startup is the only way startup up and coming startups. Startup?

Adam Brody

What was your experience on the set of "Smiley Face" like? Also, cab you recommend a good book?

noshore4me

Anna was a talent and a blast. Good book? Trying to think of a stoner one for you... anything by Kurt Vonnegut or Hunter Thomson will do nicely.

Adam Brody

What was it like working with Martin Freeman?

Jessatoo

Awesome. He's so freewheeling and unhinged in this role that he kept everybody completely on their toes. Exciting.

Adam Brody

Which is your favourite role of your career so far and why?

Ppppppppppppl

tough to say. It always tends to be the last one I did because it reflects my most up to date creative impulses.

Adam Brody

Hello, Adam , hope you are doing well, when can we expect to see you back on network TV?

Tee27jay

Thank you. Your guess is as good as mine. I have no real aversion to it.

Adam Brody

How did you choose your daughter's name?

Folaaaa

ouija

Adam Brody

To what degree do you seek projects to work on vs projects seeking you? (this is more of a general question about how you work vs a loaded question with judgmental undertones about any one project)

zachware

Most of the work I do comes out of the blue. But I do have a few passion projects I'm trying desperately to get off the ground. Although, in a way, even those fell into my lap.

Adam Brody

How much wood would a woodchuck Chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

Also, Smileyface is hillarious, are you a big advocate for recreational Marijuana?

TheChoiceIs

I'm high just from reading this. Advocate is probably too strong a word.. i just love it with all my heart and soul

Adam Brody

Thanks for doing this AMA! My mind is swimming with memories of The OC. Great times.

What's your favorite thing about Leighton?

dmoneyyyyy

Too many to count. She'e the BEST

Adam Brody

Would you rather fight 100 Martin Freeman size horses or one horse sized Martin Freeman?

I_am_Bearstronaut

I think you're reading too much into the Hobbit.

Adam Brody

Is producing something you've been drawn to for a long time?

Folaaaa

Yes, in that sometimes I like to talk about the project more than i like to perform it

Adam Brody

What do you think of brodyquest?

Duvo

I honestly don't know what it is, but I'm liking the sound of it.

Just checked out Brodyquest. Terrible! (That's a Danald Trump Tweet)

Adam Brody

During your time filming The OC, which episode was your favorite to film?

marinasayss

Pilots are always exciting

Adam Brody

If you could co-star with any actress/actor, who would it be and why?

donutsandchampagne

Well, Meryl Streep is okay. She would still have to audition.

Adam Brody

Have you ever considered creating a twitter account? You're doing great answering these questions. I bet your tweets would be very entertaining!
